Logan Chair

The Brown-Logan Endowed Chair in Pre-Medicine was established by Dr. and Mrs. Thomas
Logan for the support of the biomedical programs at Murray State University. The chair
is to be filled with an exceptionally gifted and prolific scholar whose accomplishments
will bring visibility and acclaim to the pre-medical programs at Murray State. This
scholar will assist the university’s efforts in the recruitment, retention, and placement
of pre-medical students and will be in the College of Science, Engineering and Technology.
In addition, the Brown-Logan chair will direct the university’s efforts in the Murray
State - UK Rural Health Care Initiative that is now in the planning stages.

The endowed chair position will be filled with an exceptionally gifted and promising
young scholar whose accomplishments indicate great potential for achievement. Proceeds
from the endowment will be used to fund the position along with associated expenses
including travel, start-up costs, and other professional expenses as permitted by
university policy.

It is anticipated that the endowment and the expertise of the professor will enable
greater recruitment, retention and graduate placement of pre-med students. Recruiting,
retaining and matriculating bright students will promote program loyalty and, often,
a return to practice in Kentucky.
